Everyone probably has an exposure of everybody else (or will), so you have to go on faith sooner or later.

This is probably true (try this for example http://liberalpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Conservapedia) which makes argumentum ad hominem all the more pointless.
As Wiki says (so it must be true) “The ad hominem is a classic logical fallacy.”
Perhaps we can avoid it on this site, have faith in their motives and concentrate on discussing their work(s) instead.
